About Jane
Jane Francis is a BACP-registered counsellor who offers a calm, person-centred approach. She speaks plainly and listens with warmth so people can talk through what feels hard. Her style is steady and paced to each person’s needs.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and grief. Sessions aim to help people understand what’s behind their feelings and find practical steps to feel better. Simple tools and reflection are used rather than jargon or lengthy theory.
Background and approach
Her background includes seven years of professional experience in counselling settings across the United Kingdom. She works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. That means she follows recognised professional standards while tailoring sessions to each person.
Jane combines person-centred work with emotion-focused ideas and mindfulness practice. She also draws on solution-focused techniques and Internal Family Systems to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. The emphasis is on gentle exploration and useful change rather than quick fixes.
People who want support with grief, bereavement, adoption and foster care issues, or the emotional effects of chronic illness often find the paced, compassionate style helpful. She also has experience with attachment and body image concerns, communication problems, and navigating commitment or control issues. Jane aims to make the first steps straightforward.
She listens without judgement and helps set clear, realistic goals for therapy. This practical, respectful approach helps people build confidence and move forward at a pace that suits them.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people notice and name emotions, then work through them in a supportive way. Mindfulness techniques are offered to build simple, practical habits for calming the mind and reducing stress day to day.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and past experiences, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Sessions are collaborative and adjustments are made as the work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different lifestyles. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can work when a lower-tech option is needed, and messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and health commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
